Neale Bayly really needs no introduction in the motorcycling world.

He is a world-renown motorcycle writer, photographer, and adventurer, and has been read and viewed in over 100 publications worldwide. I’ve read of his travels and escapades since the 1990s, so it was quite the thrill for me to not only meet Neale, but strike up a friendship with him in the past year. His three-part chronicle, “An Englishman In Ukraine” that we published to RoadDirt.tv last fall set in motion a series of conversations that have led to a monthly feature Neale now writes for Road Dirt, entitled “Neale Bayly Rides“. His is a true #RIDELIFE.

This is is his first of many stories to come. Maybe some of these we can get him to read for us, in his native accent!
